‘ Not Anxious.
The men who will have the fighting
{code in case of war are not yet tumb-
{ling over one another in their haste to
enlist. As a matter of fact the few who
Offer their services seem to be chiefly
Ola class certain to be rejected as unfit
for military service.
In case of war and a call for troops
.bythe President, plenty of volunteers .
would olfer themselves from a class of
men fit for military duty and certain to
lac accepted, but the story of the enlist-
ment ofi‘icers appears conclusive of the
fare that the thirst for war is mainly
so fined to those who have no intention
of going to war themselves.

There Is Promise of Peace.
It seems reasonably certain that. Con-
gress will, in some form, confer upon
the President the right to intervene to
Sop further war in Cuba, with authori—
33‘. to employ the army and navy if,
necessary.
There is some dispute in Congress as
is) theprecise terms in which this au-
thority shall be given, butthat it will
he conferred, does not seem to admit of
geasonable doubt. '
The President will thus be armed
finith all the moral and material power
{hi3 the nation to'enforce his ultimatum
led-clearly expressed in his message,
when .he declared that “the war in
Cuba must stop. ’7
With— the President thus empowered
to intervene, we must, in the face of
the order permitting reconce‘ntrados to
, return to their homes, and the proc-
_...,laznation of an armistice in Cuba by
the Spanish Government, allow .op-
portunity for Spain and the Cubans to
solve the problem of peace if they can.
If they shall fail from any cause what-
ever, this government must then intera
- gone and halt the further prosecution
, of the war by Spain. _
.311 well understand that stopping
the war in Cuba means the absolute
independence of the Cuban people. It
means that and nothing less. Spain
'"ajiderstands, and our government un-
derstands,that Spain Olin stop the war
only by surrendering her authority in
Elba. It is only right, however, that

be willing to accept.
The fact that war is now certainly
' postponed for several days at least, is
_ aiicgcther in the interest of peace.
.‘ Congress will place the responsibility
upon the President and none will doubt
that his grave duties will be performed
with the utmost fidelity. He will main-
miu peace if possible; he will accept
warjif necessary, but there is to-day the
“Veil grounded promise of peace.

Chief Bradley last night placed under

When the first rich discoveries of
gold on the Klondike were proclaimed,
the topic at once became of absorbing"
interest. People were over-powered
by the magnitude of these riches.
Every one will want Klondike mining
stock this year. No company offers
better chances than The Joseph Ladue
Gold Mining &. Development company
of Yukon. This company owns placer
claims yielding $12 per cubic foot, and
quartz claims assaying $300 in free
milling gold to the ton. The exclusive
timber right fifteen miles on both sides
of the Yukon, with a saw-mill earning
$1350 a day; some of the best lots in the

result that he was shortly placed in
limbo. '
It seems that the alleged aggressor
is soon to wed an Italian belle living in
this city, and rather than forego that
happy event he came back and gave
himself up to the police, and by order
of the court paid a fine and costs
amounting to $12. I

Aged Thirty-three.
Carl Schaub' celebrated his thirty-
third birthday anniversary last nignt
by entertaining something like Sixty of
his friends, and he feels like sixty this
morning. A genuine birthday feast
was served and just to pass the time
away dancing was indulged in. There
was a number of presents but the one
that pleased the “victim” to the great
er extent was an immense bouquet of
choice flowers.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinateor pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order. p
,' ‘ . WHAT To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer‘s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
efiect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle‘and pamphlet both sent
free by mail upon receipt of three two»
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention THE GAZETTE,

Co., Binghamt-on, N. Y. The' proi‘
prietors of this paper guarantee the
